3,700 pages of Tanach (Bible) and commentary by Ludwig, Philippson.
LUDWIG PHILIPPSON (1811–1889), the second son of Moses, achieved renown as the founder of the allgemeine zeitung des judenthums (AZJ, 1837–1922), which he edited until his death. Ludwig was an avid student of both Hebrew and classical literature in Dessau and Halle. After graduation from Berlin University (1829–33), aged 22, he took up the position of a preacher and teacher in the magdeburg Jewish community. Though following the practice of reform judaism – he preached in German and introduced the organ and the rite of confirmation – he tried to steer a middle course between Reform and orthodoxy . He was among the initiators of the rabbinical conferences of Brunswick (1844), Frankfurt/Main (1845), and Breslau (1846), but was critical of their decisions. One of his projects was the establishment of a modern institution for training scholars, rabbis, and teachers. From 1834 Philippson started editing several periodicals, first the monthly Israelitisches Predigt- und Schulmagazin (1834–36), followed by his famous AZJ, the most important Jewish weekly of the 19th century, which was also dedicated to the struggle for emancipation in all parts of Germany and Europe and fought discrimination and antisemitism. From 1839–53, he published a popular translation and commentary of the Bible, which went through three editions (18582, 18783), together with a revised edition illustrated by Gustav Doré (1875). Along with I.M. Jost , A. Jellinek , and others he founded the Institut zur Foerderung der Israelitischen Literatur (1854–73), whose main achievement was the publication of H. Graetz 's Geschichte der Juden (1853–76). In 1862, he had to resign as rabbi of Magdeburg because he had become almost blind. He moved to Bonn, where he continued his journalistic and literary work until his death. He was among the founders of the Israelitische Bibelanstalt (1862), the deutsch-israelitischer gemeindebund (1869), and the hochschule fuer die wissenschaft des judentums (1872). Ludwig Philippson had nine children. Three of his sons attained fame in their respective fields: (Johannes Valentin Schwarz (2nd ed.) (2a) MARTIN EMANUEL PHILIPPSON (1846–1916) was a historian and a communal leader in Berlin. Born at Magdeburg, he studied in Bonn and Berlin, where he later worked as a teacher, volunteered in the Franco-Prussian War (1870/71), and was finally appointed assistant professor at Bonn in 1875. However, when Emperor William I would not sanction the appointment of a Jew, he took a professorship at the Free University of Brussels (1878), and eventually became rector there. In 1890, he was forced to resign this post in the face of agitation by anti-German and radical students, and returned to Berlin as a private scholar. From 1891, he devoted his energies to Jewish communal affairs and to his writing. He was chairman of the deutsch-israelitischer gemeindebund (1896–1912) which, in 1906, initiated the Gesamtarchiv der deutschen Juden; chairman of the gesellschaft zur foerderung der wissenschaft des judentums (1902), which commissioned his three-volume Neueste Geschichte des juedischen Volkes (1907–11, 19302); and chairman of the verband der deutschen juden (1904). He also headed the hochschule (Lehranstalt) fuer die Wissenschaft des Judentums. In all, he published some 12 studies in modern history, especially on Prussia, but their scholarship has been sharply questioned by fellow historians.
